V-Accordion FR-18 diatonic
Bass Button Noise
The bass section of almost all accordion instruments
can be played via buttons. Such buttons produce a
typical noise when pressed. Use this parameter to
specify how prominent that button noise should be.
The settings you can select with the registers are:
Auto Power Off
This parameter allows you to specify how long the
FR-18 diatonic should wait before switching itself off
while you are not using it.
WARNING: Be aware that any unsaved changes are
lost when the FR-18 diatonic is switched off by this
function. Be sure to save all important settings as
soon as you can (page 35).
USB Driver
Normally, you don’t need to install a driver in order
to connect the FR-18 diatonic to your computer via
the USB connector.
However, if some problem occurs, or if the perfor-
mance is poor, using the original Roland driver may
solve the problem. If you do so, make the following
setting to specify the USB driver you intend to use
before you install the driver on your computer.
The procedure is as follows:
•Press and hold the [SET] register until its blue indi-
cator starts flashing.
•Press treble button 32.
•Press register [1] or [2]:
• Switch off the FR-18 diatonic (see p. 21), wait a
few seconds, then switch it back on again.
NOTE
